Pull Request Overview
This PR aligns CSRF middleware error messages with documentation by adding consistent "csrf:" prefixes and improving message clarity.
- Updates all public CSRF error variables to include "csrf:" prefix for consistency
- Refines error message wording to be more precise (e.g., "referer not supplied" → "referer header missing")
- Standardizes terminology for trusted origins messaging
Comments suppressed due to low confidence (2)
middleware/csrf/csrf.go:19
- [nitpick] The error message uses 'or' which could be ambiguous. Consider using 'and is not a trusted origin' to maintain consistency with the original message structure and clarify that both conditions must fail.
ErrRefererNoMatch = errors.New("csrf: referer does not match host or trusted origins")

Code Review
This pull request updates several CSRF error messages to be more descriptive and to include a csrf: prefix for better context. The changes improve the clarity and correctness of the error strings. My review includes one comment regarding the consistency of error message formatting across the entire csrf package, suggesting that all exported errors should adopt this new, improved format for better maintainability.

- GoFiber Default: X-Csrf-Token (mixed case, hyphenated).
- Comparison with Other Frameworks:
- Django: X-CSRFToken (camel case, no "Token" suffix).
- ASP.NET Core: X-CSRF-Token (hyphenated, all caps "CSRF").
- Express.js: X-CSRF-Token (hyphenated, all caps "CSRF").
- Rails: X-CSRF-Token (hyphenated, all caps "CSRF").
Observation: Most frameworks use X-CSRF-Token (hyphenated, all caps "CSRF"), except Django, which omits the hyphen in "CSRFToken". GoFiber’s X-Csrf-Token is slightly inconsistent due to its mixed case (Csrf vs. CSRF).
LGTM! The docs and tests are solid and align with the X-Csrf-Token constant in csrf.go. While X-Csrf-Token doesn’t match the X-CSRF-Token used by many frameworks, changing it now would be a breaking change, and the extractor flexibility mitigates any concerns. Clear and consistent—approved.
